The Virginia man charged with shooting and wounding a security guard at a conservative Christian lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. was carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches and ammo in his backpack at the time of the incident.

Floyd Lee Corkins, 28, allegedly told the guard that he was against the organization's politics just before pulling out a gun at the downtown D.C. headquarters of the Family Research Council, which strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion.

Corkins, who had been volunteering at the front desk of a local LGBTQ center as recently as two weeks ago, was charged in federal court Thursday with intent to kill and bringing firearms across state lines.

According to the FBI affidavit released Thursday, Corkins, who lives at home with his parents in Herndon, Va., told the guard, "I don't like your politics," seconds before opening fire.

The wounded guard, Leonardo "Leo" Johnson, 46, was able to tackle Corkins to the ground even though he had been struck in the shoulder, prompting D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier to call him as a "hero."

Corkins' parents later told FBI agents that their son has "strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner."

The Family Research Council's president, Tony Perkins, publicly threw his support behind Chick-fil-A in June when its president, Dan Cathy, affirmed that the restaurant firmly believed in the "biblical definition of marriage."

President Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney were quick to condemn the shooting.

Several advocacy groups spoke out against the violence as well, though authorities have not officially identified a motive.

"Today's attack is the clearest sign we've seen that labeling pro-marriage groups as 'hateful' must end," Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage, said in a statement, according to WJLA-TV.

Perkins told American Family Radio on Wednesday that the shooting would not slow his organization.

"We're not going anywhere. We're not backing up, we're not shutting up. We have been called to speak the truth," Perkins said. "We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced."
